Key Financial Metrics (Year Ended Dec 31, 2025)

Note: The 2025 Net Loss includes significant non-cash charges related to warrant liabilities and private placement costs.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Revenue dropped 39% to $53.2 million, driven by a collapse in China-US trade volumes due to escalating tariffs (reaching over 100% cumulatively) and shifting sourcing strategies by importers.
• Margin Compression: Gross margin fell to 1.9% from 4.1%. Management cited fierce competition, carriers cutting prices to fill capacity, and an inability to pass on increased compliance and operational costs to customers.
• Non-Operating Losses: The widening net loss was exacerbated by a $6.7 million change in fair value of warrant liabilities, a $6.1 million loss on private placement, and $1.0 million in issuance costs.
• Capital Structure: The company completed a private placement in November 2025, raising approximately $9.6 million gross proceeds. It also incurred $4.7 million in new borrowings, secured by property and marketable securities.
• Asset Acquisition: The company purchased office premises and parking spaces in Hong Kong for approximately $4.2 million, increasing Property, Plant, and Equipment significantly.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary: Management is assessing the impact of ongoing geopolitical conflicts (US-Israel-Iran) and trade wars on 2026 operations. They anticipate continued volatility in freight rates, capacity constraints, and potential inability to pass surcharges to customers.

Key Risks:

• Geopolitical & Trade: Severe exposure to US-China trade tensions. Tariffs have caused volume collapse and sourcing shifts to Vietnam/Mexico. The US-Israel-Iran conflict has disrupted air freight lanes, increased rates, and caused capacity squeezes.
• Customer Concentration: High reliance on a single largest customer (Yanwen Logistics), which accounted for 56.6% of 2025 revenue. Loss of this customer would be material.
• Internal Controls: The company identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to insufficient accounting personnel and lack of an internal audit function.
• Regulatory: Risks related to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA) regarding PCAOB inspections of auditors in Hong Kong/China.
• Liquidity: While cash balances remain positive, the company experienced net cash outflows from operations and relies on financing activities to fund growth and operations.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Customer Concentration: Verify the stability of the relationship with Yanwen Logistics (56.6% of revenue) and the impact of their own exposure to US tariffs.
• Warrant Liability: Confirm the status of the $22.4 million warrant liability recorded at year-end and the subsequent cashless exercise of warrants in February 2026.
• Internal Controls: Review the remediation plan for the identified material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Debt Covenants: Examine the terms of the new $4.7 million borrowings, specifically the collateral pledged (property and securities) and repayment schedules.
• Trade Policy Impact: Assess the company's specific exposure to the 145%+ tariffs on Chinese goods and the potential for further trade restrictions.
